setts, in convention assembled, adopted
prohibition out aud out, and without
modification or reserve, They went It the
whole hog, and without apology,
There are sigma in the republican party

1t Is with much pleasure that the

being taken by the farmers Of Allen
county in the improvement Of their
grades of live stock. 1t isa sign that

they begin to ask, not for the cheap.
est but for the best. The sharp nosed
ewine, the long horned, bony cattle,
the email, scrubby horses which mark
the pioneer stage of every farming
community, are rapidly disappearing
and in their place have come their more
highly cultivated brethern who are not
only useful but are fair to look upon.
1t is q good sign. Fine stock means
better houses, better food on the table,
better clothes for the children, less
work for the women. In short it means
progress and not proyerty.
Az means to this Improvement q
number of fine animals have been
brought In from other States and from
other countries. This il notably true
concerning horses, some of the finest
to be found anywhere being held by
Allen county owners. Among these
none will take higher rank than the
ones owned by C. F. Merriman & Co.;
and quartered at the Leland stables.
The most notable of these horses is the
magnificent black stallion, Pierre. He
is thorough bred imported PercherOn,
No. 2,576 in the Percheron Stud Book soi
France, and No. 931 in the Stud
Book of America. He was imported
from France in 1884 by J. J. Kemp, OF
Lexington, Ill. He Is six years old
this spring, weighs 1880 pounds and
stands II hands high. He has heavy
quarters, powerful bone and muscle,
fine style and action, has no blemishes
and is in every respect typical speci-
men of the Percheron race oi
draft horses. $50 dollars i'm preminme
will be given for Pierre's three best
colts; SIS for the first, $40 for
the second and S. for the third.
Grover is beautiful bay Clydesdale
8 years old this spring, 16 hands high
and weighs 1850. His style and action
cannot be surpassed.
Boyd is stylish dark dapple gray,
